Cambria Hotel LAX

Seconda volta in questa struttura, molto meglio

We zijn slechts enkele uren in het hotel geweest. We hebben deze gekozen voor de ligging nabij LAX wegens een vroege vlucht. Het bleek een topkeuze want op 6min rijden waren we in de lichthaven.

Vicinanza con aereo porto

Nada no lo recomiendo

Location was great if you want to stay away from the busy city but still close enough to attractions

Tesis her anlamda muazzam güzeldi. Konumu, temizliği her şeyiyle mükemmeldi.

Ottima posizione, parcheggio in loco

Location and that’s it!

Good stay nice pool excellent staff. A real smart T.V. would have been great!

Nice and quiet

The location was perfect.

Hôtel safe et bien situé

I had very high hopes for the Cambria LAX. The photos looked fantastic, it’s a newer property, and I previously had an exceptional experience at the Cambria Austin Airport. That hotel was everything I expected a Cambria to be.

So I assumed the Cambria LAX would be comparable.

I could not have been more wrong.

This hotel was an absolute disaster from the moment I arrived. I’ve stayed at plenty of airport hotels over the years — some good, some mediocre, and some downright terrible — and this one takes the cake.

Let’s start with the airport shuttle.

The shuttle service is unreliable and poorly managed, and apparently stops running at 11:00 p.m. The next day I waited more than 45 minutes for the shuttle, only to finally get picked up and then have the driver take me to the WRONG HOTEL. They outsource to a third party shuttle service

Yes. After waiting 45 minutes at the airport, the shuttle driver took me to the wrong property.

It took multiple calls to the front desk and dispatch before I could finally get someone to understand what had happened and arrange the correct pickup. After a long day of travel, the last thing a business traveler needs is to stand outside an airport waiting indefinitely for a shuttle and then be delivered to the wrong hotel.

But apparently, that was just the beginning.

After finally getting to the hotel and going upstairs to my room, my room key didn't work.

At first, I assumed the key card was defective. Nope.

The actual door lock was malfunctioning.

The lock itself was not working properly, and the door did not close correctly. Let that sink in: after the hotel shuttle completely failed me, I finally made it to my room — only to discover that the room door/lock wasn't functioning properly.

For me, that crosses the line from "annoying hotel problem" into a serious issue.

And then there's the noise.

This hotel is nowhere near soundproof. I could hear people walking around upstairs and noise coming from the room next door. If you're staying here because you have an early flight, need to work, or simply want to sleep, good luck.

The shower wasn't impressive either. The water pressure was weak, which seems like a small issue until you add it to everything else and realize you're paying a fairly substantial airport-hotel rate for an experience that feels more like a budget motel.

And that's ultimately my biggest issue:

This hotel is not cheap.

For the price, I expect reliability. I expect basic security. I expect a functioning room. I expect an airport shuttle to actually get me to the correct hotel. And I certainly expect to be able to sleep.

Instead, I got a 45+ minute shuttle wait, transportation to the wrong hotel, multiple calls to get the situation fixed, a malfunctioning room lock, a door that didn't close properly, paper-thin walls, weak shower pressure, and an overall experience that was stressful from beginning to end.

This is NOT what I expect from Cambria.

The Cambria Austin Airport was fantastic, which makes this experience even more disappointing. If I hadn't stayed at another Cambria before, I might assume this was simply the standard.

It isn't.

My recommendation: DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL.

If you're traveling for business, catching an early flight, arriving late at night, or simply looking for a stress-free stay near LAX, save yourself the headache and book somewhere else, Sheraton and Hilton are great options.

The pictures may look beautiful. The property may be newer. But none of that matters when the basics — transportation, security, noise control, and reliable service — fall apart.

Two stars, and that's being generous.

Cambria LAX has a lot of work to do.
